Pilot Road 3s and 5s come in a 110/17. Lots of people have mixed a 3 front with a 4 rear.

Thanks all, will be looking at that combo, esp with winter coming.
I used Oponeo at the beginning of the year. Not only a very good price, but had a list of approved tyre fitters in my area. They only charged something like £15 to fit the tyres to bare rims that had just been powder coated, and £10 to balance them. In my area there’s a guy that comes to your house, and either fits and balances your tyres for £20 a wheel, or supplies and fits for a competitive price, but not as cheap as Oponeo

My mechanic charges me £15 a wheel, but I'll only ever have one fitted at a time anyway.

My mechanic charges me £15 a wheel, but I'll only ever have one fitted at a time anyway. Because the wheels had just been powder coated, I had the tyres fitted, took them away to fit new bearings and then took them back to be balanced. £25 to have 2 tyres fitred and balanced is an absolute bargain in my neck of the woods.
Hello all.I as well had the BT21 and swapped for the recent BT23. I have no complains. They last long and have a good grip. For a regular road rider, even for a "sporty" one, they are great, but that is just an opinion.Have a look at this links that talk about tyres, including the BT23https://www.canyonchasers.net/2018/05/are-your-tires-worn-out/https://www.canyonchasers.net/2012/07/bridgestone-bt-023-sport-touring-tire-test/I have to say thought that this website is in my opinion the best website for tips and hints for bikers. Very professional, very wise and competent. You learn so much in order to be a better, faster and specially safer rider. Do browse it for several helping videos.Hope this helpsMiguel
